Isabella gave a nod of appreciation to the woman for her praise of her words. She was glad that something made the cold fade slightly from the other woman, even though the gypsy had no idea exactly what was lurking behind those cunning eyes. "Not so bad a thing, I think," she added to her words, with a glittering smile. There was more than enough venom in this pairing of women to kill a mongoose. Though when the woman's words turned to the discussion of the others fearing them, Isabella gave a light shrug here and there in response. She let Tlantli finish her words, and she had to agree with them. Hostilities always seemed to arise when people were jealous or afraid. Jealousy of prosperity were some of the worst, when people coveted what others had. Greed. No one was spared that feeling, honestly.
"Jealous? Then we are doing things correctly. They should be jealous, shouldn't they? If the pack is great, then things are good." Isabella eyed the storage facility slightly, then turned back to the golden woman. One wouldn't think they were too powerful judging by the state of their pack, especially in the winter. But Isabella knew that beneath the thistles were the snakes waiting to strike anyone brave enough to push past the thorns.
"We may not be as unknown, but we are just as mysterious." A coy look passed over her features as the gypsy woman shifted her weight from one foot to the other. "Everyone must have some amount of mystery in them, especially the women. We are born with a sort of power, to be as mysterious and dangerous as we please." She waved her hand dismissively, as though tossing the thoughts away. "Men are usually so obvious. Often, all they want is on the surface." Sirius was different, ever so slightly. His lust had been as plain as the day, but there was more behind his eyes than Isabella dared imagine.
